It's like a concert tour, but with sketchbooks. Most of the drawings you will see here on my site are being included in my sketchbook to be sent off this week to the Brooklyn Art Library. This is my first time participating and I have to admit it was overwhelming at first to think of how to fill this little sketchbook, but it has become a interesting process of rediscovering my sketches and producing new ideas about my own art.
Below is information about the sketchbook tour 2011.
Check their website for complete details: projects/sketchbookproject
Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country.
After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.
28835 artists from 94 countries around the world are participating. The tour starts February, 2011.
All books will be included in an exhibition that tours the following cities:
Brooklyn, NY Austin, TX San Francisco, CA Portland, ME Atlanta, GA Chicago, IL Washington, DC Winter Park, FL
Our Exhibitions are Interactive.
The goal of the Project is to get blank sketchbooks into the artists' hands and then completed sketchbooks into the world for viewers to enjoy. We've taken the Project to task four times before, and our fifth go-around has some awesome improvements. We know where your book is at all times, and we're collecting statistics on who's looking at what - and where. We want you to feel connected to your book and the Project as it travels around the country.
